Now Playing Image displayed with each video playing

[DavidPorter]

Hi, I've built a project that contains 9 product training videos on a single page. Each video is selectable as a button. I have 9 corresponding product still images that I would like to display on the same page that would display in its own page area outside of the product video that is playing, when the appropriate product video is selected. I've read the documentation and can't figure this one out. Love the prodcut, just trying to squeeze it for more!!!!

1. Attach appropriate PAGE > HIDE OBJECT actions to the Actions area of the Page Properties dialog under the "On Show" state in order to hide all 9 images.

2. Attach a PAGE > SHOW OBJECT action to each video's "On Play" state in the Actions tab of its properties dialog in order to show the appropriate image at play time, i.e. show image 1 with video 1, show image 2 with video 2, etc.

3. Attach a PAGE > HIDE OBJECT action the each video's "On STop" event or whatever in order to re-hide each image when it's parent video is done playing.

Right, but what if he's using the same Media Player Object for all nine videos? Should he also be hiding/showing 9 separate Media Player Objects to avoid getting the signals crossed?

Nope, use a variable, i.e. each button first sets a variable, i.e. %vid% = 2, then it starts the player.
